About 30,000 outsourced health workers in Madhya Pradesh are protesting for 9 demands, including regularization. The statewide movement that started from February 25, 2026, has intensified in Bhopal with ‘Nyay Yatra’ and mass strike. This is affecting services at district hospitals and health centers. Around 3,000 employees are protesting in Bhopal’s JP Hospital premises. They are raising slogans against the government and the department. A heavy police force has been deployed in the hospital premises with barricades. All routes have been closed. Protesters are raising slogans at the gate. Female employee fainted, protesting with 2.5-year-old child Meanwhile, a female employee who participated in the employees’ Nyay Yatra at JP Hospital premises fainted and fell. She had come to join the protest with her 2.5-year-old child. Fellow employees are taking care of the child, while Meena has been laid on the platform in front of the health directorate. The protesters are demanding regularization. Employees tried to take out a justice march from the Director of Health Services’ office to the Chief Minister’s house, but the administration stopped them from going out of the place. Representatives from the AIDS Control Employees Union, Joint Dengue-Malaria Employees Union, All Health Officers Employees Federation, Contract Outsourced Health Workers Union, and Nursing Officers Association participated in the protest. Have already shown protest by wearing black bands, no one is paying attention All Health Officers Employees Federation’s State President Surendra Singh Kaurav said that contract employees have been protesting continuously since February 2, but departmental officers are not paying attention to their demands. For this reason, employees were protesting by wearing black bands for the past two days. He said that today a justice march was taken out from the Directorate of Health Services to register a protest in the capital, so that their demands can reach Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav. Cancer risk, but allowance only 50 rupees Madhya Pradesh Radiology Technician Association’s State President Virendra Rajput said that government radiology technicians have been receiving only ₹50 as radiation allowance for the past 35 years. There has been no increase in this amount. He said that in other states, including Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, and Maharashtra, the allowance ranges from ₹1,500 to 2,500. This is significant considering that prolonged exposure to radiation increases the risk of cancer. So far, 20 of our colleagues have died from cancer, and 6 patients are still undergoing treatment. Police forcibly stopped them Contract Workers Association President Komal Singh said, we have waited long enough. Employees are angry about this. When employees were taking out a justice march on Wednesday, the police forcibly stopped them. They also said that employees have always been deceived. We had hope when the government changed, but the new government is also not fulfilling employees’ demands. Now, employees have no option but to strike. Police said – Protest without permission Protesters were stopped at the hospital campus gate. Police made it clear that no rally or demonstration is permitted. Given the ongoing legislative session, employees were asked to end their protest there itself.
